Denise Richards made quite an entrance on her return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, as stated by Erika Jayne.
Erika, 52, revealed in an exclusive interview with We on Monday, October 23, before the premiere of season 13 of RHOBH, "All I can say is that Denise came to Kyle Richard's house with a confrontational attitude. I've moved on and didn't comprehend her motives."
Erika questioned why Denise, who is 52 years old, was upset with her. Seeking clarification, she reached out to her friend and former RHOBH cast member, Teddi Mellencamp, in order to understand the situation.
"I asked Teddi, 'What is this all about?' because Denise should not be directing her anger towards me," Erika clarified. "Denise's anger should be directed towards Brandi Glanville, Lisa Rinna, and Teddi Mellencamp, not me. I just happened to be the only one present at the time."
The cast of RHOBH hosted a party at Kyle's house. According to Erika, Denise entered and started expressing her grievances. Erika, feeling confused about Denise's anger, admitted to apologizing at the time because she couldn't recall the exact events. However, it seemed to Erika that Denise still had unresolved issues with her.
"Later, during Taco Tuesday at Crystal's place," Erika continued, "Denise wanted to continue the confrontation. I made it clear that I wanted no part in it, but she insisted. So, eventually, I confronted her to satisfy her demand."

Denise's return to the series left the cast in astonishment. In the recently released trailer, the actress casually interrupted the Housewives' gathering. In a particular scene, Erika took a dig at Denise by mentioning her involvement in Only Fans.
"Are you aware that you can purchase a nude bundle of Denise Richards on Only Fans for just $7?" Erika claimed at a dinner party. When the others expressed surprise at her harsh remark, she replied, "Don't you think I'll stoop as low as possible?"
Denise retaliated by labeling Erika as "a truly wicked individual," to which Erika confessed, "I indeed am."
In April, Denise disclosed her comeback to RHOBH, albeit in a guest capacity, following her participation in shooting scenes for the Bravo program. Her choice to reenter the series stemmed from her attendance at a screening organized by her friend and former co-star, Garcelle Beauvais.
"I attended her screening as a true friend, without informing anyone beforehand, not even the production team. I simply showed up, embracing the authenticity of real friendship in real life," shared Denise with Variety. "Following that, I was invited to various events, which turned out to be quite enjoyable."
Denise became a part of the main cast of RHOBH in 2018 and stayed with the show for two seasons. However, in 2020, she made the decision to leave after Rinna and Teddi continuously propagated rumors of her involvement with Brandi Glanville. Denise consistently refuted these rumors.
Denise expressed her enjoyment and the authentic friendships she formed during her first season, stating to The Washington Post in July 2020 prior to her departure announcement. However, she acknowledged that this season was distinct, yet she emphasized that she does not have any regrets and simply adapts to unforeseen challenges.
